Glenn-UK Posted Friday at 08:46 PM Author Share #582 Posted Friday at 08:46 PM Goodbye To My Indy I was approached recently to see if I would be interested in selling my Indy. As I did not really have the space for her I was more than happy to let her go. There was not quite enough room in his transport when he came to pick the Indy and sadly the main and fore topgallant mast suffered damage, as can be seen in the photo below. I could have cried and thought a trip to the local tip was on the cards. He was still very keen to have the model so I set about repairing all the damage. I had to make and fit two new topgallant masts. Next I had to redo all the damaged rigging, such as the shrouds, jeers, lifts, braces, stays, back stays, etc. This was a nightmare to do due to the limited access. After a few days hard work the repairs were complete, and most people will be hard pressed to see the repair. The Captain looked impressed. Next I transferred the Indy to a transport shipping frame which should prevent lateral and longitudinal movement. The inner faces of the blocks were felt lined. The client then used a specialist transport company, called Lenspeed. They were fantastic, taking great care to load and adding additional damping and strapping to prevent unwanted movement / vibration during the 2 hours drive. I was a bit sad to see her go, but very happy knowing she has gone to a good home where she will be appreciated.

Many thanks, once I had managed to release the remaining bits of the damaged masts from the caps I was able to work methodically to redo the rigging. The hardest task was to remove the topgallant shrouds from the belaying points. rcweir, Ryland Craze and Oboship 3 Quote Glenn (UK) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronald-V Posted Saturday at 07:54 AM Share #585 Posted Saturday at 07:54 AM Congratulations on the sale! I can imagine that at some point you have to sell models because there is simply no more room for them, especially this one! But it will indeed hurt a little bit, because you have put so much time and energy into it. Especially if it is gone so soon!
